2015 Los Angeles Auto Show: What to Expect

In a city where the streets are literally paved with celebrities, the rich-and-famous denizens with and without stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame love their luxury vehicles, performance cars and SUVs. In that regard, the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show, which kicks off next week, has a lineup of global and North American debuts worth braving the paparazzi to see.

Of the 50 planned vehicle debuts, the more than two-dozen we know about include 15 luxury vehicles, 10 SUVs and seven performance cars, the majority of which are from luxury brands. Oh, and for the big-time celeb needing to make a fast (and luxurious) getaway with his or her entire entourage, the bowing 2016 Jaguar F-Pace is the trifecta — a luxury, performance SUV.

There's even a new plug-in luxury car for the eco-conscious/economically well-off in the BMW eDrive 330e, making its North American debut. Add to that a few concept cars — the Mazda RX-Vision sports coupe, the Subaru Impreza and an unidentified offering from California son Scion — and a Porsche racecar, the Cayman GT4 Clubsport.

Other highlights include the all-new Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Convertible, Cadillac XT5 SUV and 2017 Audi R8, as well as the next-gen Mazda CX-9 SUV and 2017 Hyundai Elantra sedan.
